Between the kale, goji berries, beets, and oranges, every bite of this gorgeous salad has about a year’s worth of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients. But the flavors are even more powerful than the health benefits. And while this salad is to-die-for delicious by itself, when we dress it with orange juice and a hint of sesame oil, it reaches a whole new level. You’ve got to try this one.

Ingredients:
- Shredded cabbage
- Chopped kale
- Grated carrots
- Sliced golden beets
- Orange slices
- Green onions
- Goji berries
- Edamame
- Raw raw cashews
- Sunflower seeds
- Orange juice
- 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil
- Sea salt
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
- As mentioned, this recipe has no measurements – use your own judgment. In a large bowl, add the shredded cabbage with some finely-chopped kale and grated carrots. This is your base.
- Next, gather all the other ingredients and chop them if needed. Beets are great if sliced in thin half-circles, the green onions can be sliced, the orange should be peeled and pulled into wedges. Everything else can simply be thrown into the salad whole. Add a handful of each and toss until you have the perfect mix of ingredients.
- Make the dressing with the juice of one orange, 1-2 teaspoons of sesame oil, and sea salt (don’t skimp on salt – it adds a lot here). Pour this over the salad and toss until well mixed. Then, divide the salad into serving bowls and sprinkle a few sesame seeds over top. Yum!

How to make spicy carrot salad

Sometimes it takes somebody new to make you fall in love again with an old friend. Spiced with serrano chiles and perfumed with an exotic blend of cloves, ginger, coriander, cinnamon, paprika and cumin, the salad is finished with what seems to be an impossible amount of chopped cilantro — 2½ cups. Impossible, that is, until you taste it. ![]()

Ingredients:
- 6 large carrots, peeled (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp harissa
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp caraway seeds, freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups arugula
- Place carrots in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat, cover, and cook for about 20 mins until the carrots are just tender. Drain and cool. Once cooled cut into 1/4" slices.
- While the carrots are cooking, heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion and cook until browned.
- Put all of the ingredients (except arugula) into a bowl and toss. Set aside at room temp for 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve over arugula.
- Yield: 4 servings

They are segmented and then drizzled with a honey-lemon dressing that comes together in a flash. Sprinkle some fresh or dried thyme on top for an added interesting flavor and color contrast. Serve and enjoy!:)

- 1 navel orange, segmented
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt

Directions
- Combine the orange and grapefruit segments in a bowl, tossing to mix. Set aside.
